Our Sustainability Journey

Our Sustainability Journey

Our Vision
Our Vision

Our focus is to reduce our carbon emissions, become less wasteful and drive more conscious consumption through our own operations whilst deeply nourishing people.

Throughout 2023 we will have completed a carbon emissions audit to establish a baseline from which to further reduce emissions with the aim of becoming carbon neutral.

We are also committed to removing and reducing single-use non-compostable plastics from our own operations.

Our warehouse operations have already transitioned to 100% biodegradable and kerbside recyclable plastics, and 99% of our product packaging is completely plastic-free.

Our Vision
OUR COMMITMENT

Our actions will focus predominantly on 3 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Our 3 prioritised SDGs have been chosen across areas where we can make the most significant impact and contributions. We will follow the United Nations SGD framework to synchronise our efforts with the rest of the world.

Our focus for the next 3 years will be on these 3 Sustainable Development Goals:

This goal aims to end hunger and all forms of malnutrition by 2030 by providing access to proper nutrition to lead a healthy life. Over 790 million people still lack regular access to adequate food, and over 90 million children under five are dangerously underweight.

This goal ensures sustainable consumption and production patterns,  which is key to sustaining the livelihoods of current and future generations. Unsustainable consumption and production patterns are the root causes of the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

This goal aims to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Climate change is one of the most significant challenges of our lifetime, putting natural ecosystems at risk of permanent loss and destruction and posing a risk to our health and livelihood.

SDG 2 - Zero Hunger
